Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 16,403. Lee, W. R. Aug. 4. Looms, pile forming in.-In looms for weaving terry wherein the reeds are operated to produce the looping of the warp threads, the position of the reed is controlled from the dobby by the mechanism shown. The wtdge-sbaped lever a, Figs. 1 and 5, which controls the position of the reed k in a known manner, is connected as shown to a lever c having a slotted connecting-rod d working in conjunction with a stud d' on a dobby jack-lever f. When the jack-lever is raised, the spring g is extended and the spring c<1> is compressed, the lever a being held up at this time by the lever q. When the cam p moves the lever q from under the lever a, the compressed spring c' causes the rod b to move the lever a downwards. When the jack-lever descends, its stud moves in the slot d' of the rod d, the lever q meanwhile holding the lever a in its lowest positiou until the camp relieves it ; the extended spring g then returns the lever c to its original position, and the lever a is accordingly raised.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Producing Chain-stitch Sewing.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1910-06-20
Abstract: 6540. Boult, A. J., [Winslow, S. W.]. March 18. Boot-sole sewing machines; governing needle thread.-Chain stitches are set by first pulling upon the work-side arm 17, Fig. 13, of the thread loop held by the needle so as to shorten the preceding loop 15, and afterwards, in tightening the last loop around the needle while the needle is in the work, pulling upon the shortened stitch by means of the last loop. This method is illustrated in Figs. 13 and 9, as applied to a Goodyear welting-machine, where the thread loop is tightened around the needle by a take-up, and in Figs. 33 and 34, as applied to a McKay machine where the thread loop is tightened round the needle by a jaw 55. In the first example, a thread loop is engaged to shorten the preceding loop by a pair of grippers 11, and in the second example by a pair of grippers 55, 57. The grippers 11 of the welting- machine are mounted to slide in a guide 21, Fig. 4, and are reciprocated longitudinally by a rack-and-pinion gear 23, 24. The pinion is suitably oscillated by a quick-threaded camactuated screw 29. The pivoted jaw of the grippers is held normally open by a spring; but, during the thread-pulling part of its movement, a projection 33 on the pivoted jaw engages a stationary cam-surface 32, and the jaws are closed upon the thread. In order to increase the shortening of the loops when the toe of a boot is being sewn, the cam-surface, which is wider at the inner end, is mounted upon an arm 34 attached to the back-rest 9. When the back-rest moves out while the toe is being sewn, a broader part of the cam-surface keeps the grippers in action over a longer period. The bracket 34 is supported by sliding connexion with a stationary bracket. During the loopshortening operation, the thread tension is reduced by rotating the tension disks by means of a pawl on a cam-lever and by suspending the action of the auxiliary take-up. In the McKay machine, a gripper jaw 57, Fig. 19, is pivoted upon a shank 59 of a jaw 56, which is slidingly and revolubly mounted in brackets 63, 78, Fig. 17, fixed to the machine frame. The grippers are raised, first for shortening a loop and afterwards to a greater distance for finally setting the stitch, by a cam-actuated lever 82. The end of this lever passes between collars 79, 80 on the rod 59, and to avoid straining the thread too much the collar 80 is spring-mounted on the rod 59. The grippers are rotated through ninety degrees from their operative position when entering and releasing a thread loop by a spur gear 95, 96. In the sleeve 62 there are two grooves for the passage of the end 61 of the jaw-lever 58. Onlv the groove which receives the end 61 during the operative period contacts with it. In the short loop-shortening movement, the cam-surface of the groove maintains the grippers closed. In the longer stitchsetting movement, the end 61 passes the groove and the jaws reopen. Thus, during the setting of the stitch, the thread can reeve freely over the jaw 55.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Signal Systems for Railways and the like.
IPC: B61L23/16
Filed: 1909-09-15
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 21,101. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Sept. 15. Electrical systems, automatic.-In order to allow the employment of signalling currents of low frequency, for example frequencies of 60 and 90 per second in the signalling-system described in Specification 20,542/06, in which the track rails are electrically continuous, the incoming end of a block is more definitely located by the addition of an extra relay connected across the rails adjacent to the connexions of the transformer and on that side of them on which the train approaches. A signal is then made dependent upon the extra relay in addition to the two relays which are situated midway between two transformers. The extra relay need not be capable of selection between the signalling currents ; it is sufficient if it is not susceptible to the power current. If it is desired to locate the outgoing end of the block, a similar relay may be arranged a short distance beyond each transformer connexion. Fig. 2 shows a further application to a single-track system. Extra relays D<1>, D<5> and D<9> are placed before the transformer connexions for left to right working and relays D<10>, D<6> and D<2> are placed before them for right to left working. Each signal is dependent on a signaloperating relay F<1>, F<2>, F<3> &c. at its own block junction and a signal-operating relay at the next junction in front. Each signal-operating relay is dependent upon the two usual relays responding to the two different currents respectively and the extra relay. For example, the signal E<3> for right to left working is dependent upon the relays F<2>, F<3> which are dependent upon the track relays D<3>, D<4>, D<6>, D<7>, D<8>, and D<10>, and the signal E<4> for left to right working is dependent upon relays F<4>, F<5> which are dependent upon track relays D<1>, D<3>, D<4>, D<5>, D<7> and D<8>.

Abstract: 30,420. Gelin, J. Jan. 4, [Convention date]. Razors, safety. The blade of a safety razor has rounded or chamfered ends which are engaged by the jaws 5 of a resilient bowed clamp 4 having a struck-up hook 9 which passes through a T-shaped aperture 10 in a guard-plate 6 having seatings 8 which prevent lateral movement of the clamp. A shoulder 11 on the hook 9 engages the shoulders at the sides of the aperture 10 when the parts are sprung into position, the hook being engaged by a loop 19 at the end of a coiled spring 18 contained in the hollow handle 16, the other end of the spring being fastened to a stud 17 in the handle. The end of the handle is slotted at 20 to permit the loop 19 to be engaged with the hook 9 when the handle is in a vertical position, the handle being then swung down into a position parallel with the plane of the blade and the stud 17 engaged in one of a series of holes 15 in a flange 14 on the guard-plate. The sides of the slot 20 bear on the plate 6, and the pull of the spring causes the clamp to bend the blade and to hold it firmly. The blade is sharpened so that the edge is closer to one face than to the other, and by inverting the blade a certain amount of adjustment is obtained; or the blade may be shifted laterally in the clamp 4 by depressing the centre part of the clamp. The guard-teeth 7 are set obliquely to the edge of the blade so as to ensure a slanting cut.
